Masses of people turned up for the event sponsored by telecommunications company Airtel Uganda.
The king Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II was there to flag off the race. A couple of photos of the Kabaka were taken and uploaded on social media. Some people were quick to notice the position in which the ring on his finger was placed. This ring which resembled a marriage finger was worn on his little finger.
This was interpreted as a wedding ring placed on the wrong finger and they quickly started insinuating.
“Nze abadde abuuza KABAKA empeta nga ajambadde mu ka naswi…..is everything fine?'” loosely translated for “I was asking why the Kabaka is wearing the ring on his little finger. Is everything fine,” one social media wondered.
This all comes on the back of rumors of his marriage to the Nnabagerekka being shaky. The Nnabagerekka, Sylvia Nagginda recently also released her autobiography which raised quite some dust. This is after she revealed that she and the king have twins.
However, a kingdom statement denied having any knowledge of the said twins. The Nnabagerekka was also absent last week at Lubiri during his birthday celebrations. This further gave these rumors some water to germinate. Luckily the Nnabagerekka was present this time and looked adorable with the hubby.
Well for the ring, it’s said that it is not a wedding ring. It is one which binds the Kabaka with people of Buganda and the kingdom. It was given to him during his coronation to become the king at Naggalabi Buddo Coronation Site in 1993.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
